Frequently
Asked Questions About The Templates

I
like strip techniques. Why should I use templates?

I like strip techniques, too. I'll never make a Double Irish Chain
with templates, but I'll never make another Ohio Star without
templates. I feel that the Perfect Patchwork Templates are a continuation
of strip techniques. We cut strips the same width as one dimension
of the template then use the template to finalize the shape. They
are great!

2. Because the points are so long and bulky, some quilters have learned
to blunt the points to help prevent them from catching in their
machine's feed dogs. That's nice, as far as it goes.

3-4. Another reason to nip off the points is to eliminate those pesky
"dog ears." If you don't, they are left extending beyond
the unit, adding bulk and more chances for misalignment and risking
"showing through" light fabrics.

Besides,
how do you usually align a triangle on a square? By eye 
it may look good, but it's not always accurate! With Perfect Patchwork
Templates, you just sew a 1/4-inch seam allowance because the
pieces line up PERFECTLY! Right triangles may not convince you,
but these shapes will!
